How long does it take for postpartum sweating to heal?

Many pregnant mothers will stay in confinement after giving birth. Confinement can help a weak body recover quickly, and it can also regulate the body and prepare enough breast milk for the baby. However, many mothers experience some physical discomfort at the beginning of their confinement period. For example, abdominal pain and sweating. So, how long will it take for postpartum sweating to return to normal?

Generally speaking, the symptoms of postpartum night sweats are particularly obvious in the first week after delivery. The clean clothes you changed before going to bed may become wet when you wake up. Gradually, the night sweats will decrease. Most mothers will not have night sweats after the confinement period. However, if the body is not well taken care of after delivery, the nutrition is insufficient, and the body is overly weak, the physiological night sweats after delivery may become pathological night sweats. This is a disease that needs treatment.

Postpartum night sweats are also a manifestation of physical weakness. How should we treat excessive night sweats? What are the precautions? First of all, mothers need to understand that night sweats during the confinement period are not necessarily caused by too high room temperature. When sweating a lot, mothers should not arbitrarily cool down. When sweating, the pores are open, which makes it easy for cold wind to invade and cause a cold or even postpartum disease.

When you have night sweats, you should pay more attention to personal hygiene, take a bath frequently and change your underwear. It is best to prepare three sets of confinement clothes and choose cotton fabrics that are breathable and absorbent. It is best to expose the washed confinement clothes to the sun for sterilization and disinfection. Bed sheets, quilt covers, etc. should also be changed frequently.

You should take a bath frequently during night sweats. Mothers who have undergone cesarean section and are unable to move can take a warm water bath. In the cold winter, you can reduce the number of baths appropriately. Pay attention to your daily diet and eat some diuretic foods such as red bean water, winter melon, etc., which can help excrete excess water from the body. When you sweat a lot, you should also pay attention to supplement nutrients such as inorganic salts and calcium.
